Please have patience with me. > >Some of you know me as I have been the list administrator for several years. >Others do not - as I have just taken over a couple of the lists in the last >few months. My name is Jan Cortez and I have been doing genealogy websites >and mailing lists for a couple of years now. > >I actually like to be very informal and not bother you in any way. As long >as the lists are moving along and everyone is getting along - I'm happy - >but there are some who wish to stick to topic. they are right - that is >what the lists are for. The specific topic that they were started for. So >here are the rules: > >1. Topic needs to be genealogy and history specific to whichever county, >state or country list that you are subbed to. If you feel the need to bring >other things to the attention of the list - PLEASE clear them with me. >2. Please do not send virus warnings - unless they have been cleared with >me. Many of them are hoaxes, getting people to delete needed files from >their computers. Many members are new - and haven't experienced these >types of mails yet. >3. Chain letters are not allowed. >4. No spamming, flaming, or swearing is allowed. Please try to always be >considerate of others feeling. Treat others as you would want to be >treated. Many people are newbies to the list and haven't been around >forever like some of us. Try to remember back to when you first started and >how awesome this all was. >5. Try not to have real lengthy discussions on the list - if you want to >pursue the subject matter - try to take it off list. Its only being polite >to those that are not interested in the thread. >6. ROLL CALLS will only be called by the List Administrator. I have quite >a few lists and some are VERY large. Many going at the same time jam my >mailbox big time. If I have become forgetful - send me a note and ask. >7. If you have a complaint against anyone who has posted to the list or >their subject matter, please take that up with me - off list. If you don't >have my email addy - send a simple note to the list asking for the List >administrator to contact you. I will - as soon as I can. I do work >though - so give me some time. >8. To unsubscribe to the list send a message to (X's being the name of your >specific list) XXXXX-L-request@rootsweb.com with the word unsubscribe in >the body of the message. Nothing else. To resub - you follow the same >action only using subscribe in the body of the message. the same address >using a "D" instead of an "L" if you are in digest form. >9. Problems adhering to these rules will result in a note from me to you >personally - trying to resolve the matter. If after honest attempts have >been made on both sides and the matter is not resolved - it may result in >unsubbing you from the list. So lets try our best to get along. >10. Try to put surnames in the Subject line - and try to give time frames >and areas. It really does help... >11. Best rule of them all - Enjoy the list - And post often it gets your >message out. > >Jan Cortez >List Administrator > > > >==== MIMARQUE Mailing List ==== >Hello and welcome to the Marquette Mailing List.
